The 16-24 Chevrolet Malibu Hatchback, excluding Maxx SS CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW398) fits the following vehicles: 2016-2024 Chevrolet Malibu. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The 16-24 Chevrolet Malibu Hatchback, excluding Maxx SS CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW398) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The Curt 56387 Custom Wiring Harness is designed for Chevrolet Malibu L, Malibu LS, Malibu LT, and Malibu Hybrid models. If your vehicle is one of these models, the harness is compatible. For other Malibu generations or trim levels not listed, contact the manufacturer or check the product fitment database.
The harness is rated for 7.5 amps per side for signal circuits and 7.5 amps total for tail and running circuits. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need: a panel trim removal tool, a cutting tool, a wire stripper, and a wire crimper. These tools are required to remove trim panels, prepare wires, and make electrical connections during installation.
The harness includes: the custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a provided screw for grounding, double-sided tape for the converter box, a 4-flat connector, a 4-flat dust cover, and cable ties for securing loose wires.
Drilling may be required. You must locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector. If an existing screw with nut is not available in the vehicle frame, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided grounding screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided grounding screw. The grounding point should be located near the taillight connector on a flat spot inside the vehicle frame, and the area should be free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the white ground wire with the ring terminal.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The converter box should be positioned to allow the wiring harness to route properly from the taillight connectors.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Start on the driver side: remove trunk floor coverings, remove the scuff panel, remove fasteners from the interior felt liner, locate the taillight wiring harness connectors, separate them, and insert the custom harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Secure the white ground wire to a suitable grounding point. Then route the harness end with the green wire to the passenger side and repeat steps 3–5 using the green wire end.
Separate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end (yellow wire for driver side, green wire for passenger side) between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. The custom harness connectors will be similar to the vehicle's original connectors.
Remove the scuff panel by pulling out on the bottom and then up. Take care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back of the panel, as damage may affect proper reinstallation.
All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly. Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. This will verify that all connections are correct and the harness is operating as intended.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Before drilling the 3/32" pilot hole for the grounding screw, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. Ensure the grounding area is free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the white ground wire.
Yes. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. This should be done during the final reinstallation step after all other components are in place.
